While reading Comparing the Java Serialization Options I ran across the a cool google code project which has done an excellent job benchmarking a wide variety of serialization options for java.

Wow, I can’t believe I missed it. Python lovers rejoice! Seems some good folks have created a python client for ActiveMQ which is using the very robust ActiveMQ C++ client.
